Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: The director, Matt Williams, does little to keep the audience from jumping ahead of the script. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Funny, fresh and reassuring. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Astonishingly shameless melodrama. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Has enough humor and polish to gull you into enjoying its jest-folks fakery. But you may hate yourself in the morning. Read more

Steven Rosen, Denver Post: It evokes laughs and a few tears, but also groans at bad material. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Not possessing much in the way of a character arc, saints are boring to watch and impossible to act. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: The movie isn't all that much -- it's too cloyingly ramshackle -- but Portman isn't playing down to her character this time around. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The filmmakers have crafted a motion picture that should appeal to members of both sexes. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Where the Heart Is has a screenplay like that, zigging and zagging and wildly careening from one melodramatic development to the next. Read more
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle: Where the Heart Is fails to build much emotional momentum. Read more

Todd McCarthy, Variety: Banal and trite where it could have been insightful and emotionally truthful. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: Grand Guignol-on- trailer-wheels horror show. Read more
